Read the passage and check () whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F). Low levels of literacy skills’ among workers are hindering the competitiveness of North American businesses in today’s globalized and information-focused world Employers are wondering whether these problems are actually relevant to their own firms As a result of a research project on the relationship between literacy supply and demand in Canadian employment, we have created a strategy for employers to use to assess their level of risk before undertaking expensive and difficult in-depth studies of their firms Literacy supply refers to the literacy skills of workers or potential workers while literacy demand refers to the requirement for literacy skills in specific jobs Our project addresses ways in which actual problems can be identified through matching literacy supply with literacy demand While this paper quotes mainly Canadian sources on this issue, the problem, we consider, is common to the United States and, indeed, to most industrialized countries
We know a lot about the literacy skills of the Canadian population and workforces, and the news has not been good A series of national and international surveys have actually tested samples of Canadians on their literacy and numeracy abilities These studies strongly suggest that a substantial proportion of the Canadian workforce has, at best, basic literacy skills and, at worst, inadequate abilities to handle everyday literacy and numeracy tasks From the literacy supply side we have been led to believe that we have a serious problem It is widely argued that low levels of literacy skills are harming the productivity of Canadian business now and represent a barrier to the restructuring firms need to remain competitive in the future

(36)every day These sources are divided into two groups – renewable and nonrenewable Renewable energy source is an energy source that can be replenished in a short period of time Nonrenewable energy source is an energy source that we are using up and cannot recreate in a short period of time
Renewable energy sources include solar energy, which comes from the Sun and can be turned into electricity and heat Wind, geothermal energy from inside the Earth, biomass from plants, and hydropower and ocean energy from water are also renewable energy sources
However, we get most of our energy from nonrenewable energy sources, which include the fossil fuels – oil, natural gas, and coal They’re called fossil fuels because they were formed over millions and millions of years by the action of heat from the Earth’s core and pressure from rock and soil on the remains of dead plants and animals Another nonrenewable energy source is the element uranium, whose atoms we split (through a process called nuclear fission) to create heat and ultimately electricity

Recreation is the use of time in a non-profitable way, in many ways also a therapeutic refreshment of one’s body or mind While leisure is more likely a form of entertainment or rest, recreation is active for the participant but in a refreshing and diverting manner As people in the world’s wealthier regions lead increasingly sedentary lifestyles, the need for recreation has grown The rise of so-called active vacations exemplifies this trend
Recreation, play, and fun are not the preserve of human; nearly all creatures indulge in this to some extent Play is essential for the development of skills, the most basic of which are motor skills in young creatures
The choice of hours for recreation is, for employees, restricted by the requirements of, and agreements with, the employer (working time), and for students by schools hours For people with their own business it is also restricted by the requirements of the work, such as the opening hours of the business based on wishes of customers, laws, and customs
The weekend is usually a time for recreation Holidays are also a common time for recreation, though recreation may take place at virtually any time Recreation commonly occurs during an individual’s discretionary time.
Traditionally Olympics, music and dance serve as recreation in many cultures, as sports, hobbies, game (playing) and tourism Watching TV and listening to music are common forms of recreation, or rather leisure
31 What is the difference between leisure and recreation?
A Leisure is active for participant but in a refreshing and diverting manner, recreation is more likely a form of entertainment or rest
B Leisure isn’t likely a form of entertainment or rest, recreation is active for the participant but in a refreshing and diverting manner
C Leisure is more likely a form of entertainment or rest while recreation is active for the participant but in a refreshing and diverting manner
